Making a movie of Hellblazer
May. 25th, 2004 04:06 pmWhy do they persist in calling him John Constantine? Why not change his name to Charlie Badd? Everything else is changed!
Right, I know the answer to that. They want to attract those of us who has to see the movie just because it's Conjob. And the title of it is Constantine, so changing his name now would be a bad idea.
Still. Our favourite scouser Silk Cut-smoking yellow trenchcoat-wearing antihero mage is going to be a dark-haired American in L.A., charging around with his holy shotgun to avenge a friend. He probably even smokes Camels. Cue fanboy (and fangirl) anger.
Quote: In response to the letter introducing the game where you name all actors who could play Constantine before you get to Keanu Reeves, the SFX staff said:
"You forgot Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po. We're still arguing about Tinky-Winky."
